Ian, thanks. As I mentioned in George's post, this solved the Outlook Express problem for me. It has obviously got altered at some point because Outlook Express attachments always worked for me, and I can only suspect it may have had something to do with SP2. I didn't get many problems with the upgrade, but one or two little glitches and this could have been one of them. Anyway, thanks for reminding me of that setting. -- Carol -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Iain Lackie Sent: 20 October 2004 08:14 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: OUTLOOK AND OUTLOOK EXPRESS NOT ACCEPTING ATTACHMENTS (HARMFUL FILETYPES) Carol, Have you had a look at the security page in the Outlook Express options? There is a 'do not allow attachments to be opened or saved which might be a virus' box. This should be unchecked.
